Macrame Wall Hanging Supplies

Here are the basic supplies that you’ll need to make macrame wall hangings.

• Macrame cord: This can be found in most craft stores. It comes in a variety of colors, so you can choose one that matches your décor.
• Wooden dowel: This will be used as the base for your wall hanging. You can find these at most hardware stores. Or, more a more rustic look, you can hang your wall hanging on a piece of driftwood.
• Tape measure: This will be used to measure the cord and dowel.
• Scissors: You will need these to cut the cord.

Optional: You can add other decorative elements to your macrame wall hangings, such as glass or wood beads.

What type of cord is used for macrame?

Macrame can be made with various materials, including cotton, linen, hemp, jute, or leather cords.

The most common type of cord used for macrame is cotton rope. This material is strong and durable, which makes it perfect for wall hangings. It’s also relatively inexpensive, so it’s a great option for those on a budget.

What is the best cord to use for a macrame wall hanging?

The best cord to use for macrame wall hanging patterns is a 3-ply cotton cord.

You can find cotton rope online or at most craft stores for a reasonable price. I prefer to use a 4-6mm 3-ply cotton cord for most home decor projects.

How much cord do I need for a wall hanging?

The amount of cord you need for a wall hanging will depend on the size of the project. But, as a general rule, measure out five or six times as much cord as the finished length of the wall hanging.

Read the pattern for specific info. Here are a few guidelines. For a small wall hanging, you will need about 50 feet of cord. For a medium-sized project, you will need about 100 feet of cord. And for a large project, you will need about 200 feet of cord.

Can I use regular yarn for macrame?

You can use yarn for some macrame projects, but it wouldn’t be my first choice.

Regular yarn is much thinner and stretchier than macrame cord, so it’s not ideal for tying lots of knots.

I suggest purchasing macrame cord, which can be found at most craft stores. This cord is specifically designed for macrame and is much stronger than regular yarn.
